More than 220 meat products have been recalled by Maple Leaf or companies that used recalled meat, including Tuesday's announcement of three additional brands of ready-made sandwiches sold in the Maritimes and Ontario.
Two distributors, Atlantic Prepared Foods Ltd. and Metro Ontario Inc., said they were voluntarily recalling sandwiches that may contain some of the 220 recalled meat products.
Atlantic recalled Irving, Sub Delicious and Needs brand sandwiches, sold throughout New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia. Metro Ontario removed three sandwiches under its Fresh 2 Go brand from selected A & P and Dominion locations across the province.
Maple Leaf initiated its recall after the Listeria bacterium was detected in some of the goods produced in one of its Toronto plants, but eventually ordered the recall of all products made at the facility as the outbreak escalated
THE VULNERABLE: People with weak immune systems, the elderly, pregnant women. Although the infection may be mild in a pregnant woman, there could be a miscarriage, stillbirth, premature birth or potentially fatal infection in the baby after birth.
THE VICTIMS: Six deaths, all of them in Ontario, have been directly linked to the outbreak, while the deaths of another nine people with listeriosis are under investigation to determine if the outbreak was to blame.
THE CASES: Some 29 cases have been conclusively linked to the outbreak, including the six confirmed deaths and the nine deaths under investigation. Twenty-two of the cases are in Ontario, with four in B.C., two in Quebec and one in Saskatchewan. An additional 30 cases remain under investigation - 16 in Ontario, 10 in Quebec and four in Alberta.
I usually dye my hair light aubrun. When it had gone back to its normal color a taxi driver would tell me that there is a woman who lives by you who has red hair, can't you tell it is me with just different hair.
I had to have a security clearance done when showed my I.D. the guard said the hair color does not match. I said wait I will go and buy a hair color and come back.
The meat is sold under so many different names, we feel like just throwing it all out now. It is hard to know what to do about the meat that is in the freezer which has been there for a couple of months.
I had my numerology done by a friend years ago and it said I was not to find love again until my later years. I have lost the sheets and now wonder what are my later years, this was done when I was 30 now I am 56, is this my later years or was it talking about when I end up in a nursing home.
I love potato salad but could not eat it anymore because of the mayo, as I am now allergic to eggs. I should try ranch and see if I can take that if it is made without eggs, have to read the ingredients.
no I do not find it natural to say I love you, even to my kids, they are always saying I never tell them. I was never brought up like that, no one ever said it me so I do not remember to say it to them.
My mom would always say she wished I was never born, or why did I let your dad talk me into having a child.
I feel the same way, I do not like rejection, but then who is to make the first move if both are scared. I think that is why I have never told anyone I love them, I made the mistake when I was 17, said it to my boyfriend and he freaked, said why are you saying that, I have never told you I love you, have I. Never again.
I want to run away from life, sneak me into one of your boxes and take me with you. Eric will not even realize I am there, just wonder what kind of statue is this.
I know everyone says to look for your good qualities, which are getting harder to find when you have been knocked down so much all your life. I wish I could believe that some man would want me just the way I am with flaws and all.
I guess I felt that way as I was always thin until I had my first child. After when I would run into people they would just stare at me and say you sure gained a lot, friends I had not seen in a long time did not recognize me. I felt I would just lose the weight again over time, but that never happened.
I always felt insecure growing up even when I was thin, moving around so much I never had the chance to made good friends and the schools I went to they had been together since kindergarten and I never fit in. The base school, the kids moved as much as I did so they were always changing.
I tried to feel confident but with two bad marriages and them always putting me down it is hard to build it back up again.
Men who say weight does not matter, do they really mean it. When you meet a lady who is overweight isn't that the first thing you notice and would you still want to go out with her or you don't because of what other people may say.
If you knew ahead of time that she is overweight would you still show up.
No it is all his fault ....... 1st should not have left the bag so close to your car 2nd should have know you would likely run over it 3rd it was the cars fault
I just checked it now, and have from people I do not know and in their 20's and 30's. My profile says if you are not in your 50's do not contact me but then who reads.
